Showcase: The Mistys

We dug the buzzing, gritty, psych-tinged electropop of The Mistys, so we endeavoured to find out more about them via the medium of Showcase Q&A…

How would you describe yourselves, if pushed?

The Mistys are a recombinant mutant pop band. We are followers of the Roxx Tox manifesto so we extensively mine the past for ideas that are worth remembering and permutating, like a backstreet music DNA splicing lab if you will.

Where are you based, and what do you use to record with?

We are the originators and sole practitioners of the Neue Burnley Welle. So stay local to keep our snake eyes on things.

We don’t use anything special to record with, the regular mixture of hard and software.

Are you signed to a label? If so, how did you come to their attention?

Our home is Other Ideas, which is run by The Boats (Andrew is also a member of The Boats).

Is there a full album in the works? If so, what can you tell us about it? (Feel free to be as abstract as you like…)

Our album is already available. It’s called Redemption Forest and is on blue wax.
